At least two rotors are mounted in a chamber and rotate synchronously to compress and/or transport fluid. The chamber has the shape of partially overlapping circles with each circle intersecting the center of the adjacent circle. The rotors are non-eccentric and have curved sides with the same radius as the circles. In exemplary embodiments, the rotors are trochoidal and the chamber is epitrochoidal. Also provided are compressors, pumps, actuators, and engines incorporating the rotary machine.

A drilling motor has been developed with a hollow tubular stator having at least one rod recess therein and an inlet port therethrough corresponding to each of the at least one rod recess; a rod movably disposed in each of the at least one rod recess; a tubular rotor movably disposed within the stator for rotation therein, the tubular rotor having a central motive fluid flow channel therethrough and extending along the length of the rotor, the rotor having one or more radial exhaust flow channels therethrough for providing a motive fluid flow path to the central motive fluid flow channel from at least one action chamber between the hollow tubular stator and tubular rotor; the tubular rotor having at least one rotor seal; and the at least one action chamber defined by an interior surface of the hollow tubular stator and an exterior surface of the tubular rotor, each of the at least one action chamber sealed at one end by the rod and at another end by one of the at least one rotor seals. A rotor has been developed with a central motive fluid flow channel and one or more radial flow channels interconnected therewith for fluid to flow from action chambers, e.g. action chambers between the rotor and a stator of a drilling motor.

A rotary Wankel type engine system is disclosed, wherein the crankshaft is supported by a center main roller bearing. The rotor apexes are sealed by two piece apex seals and by side seals. The engine system further includes an oiling system which permits oil flow through the center bearing and through lubrication passages in the engine rotor to provide a means for cooling the engine rotor under high loading conditions. Riblets are defined in the combustion face of the rotor to promote aerodynamic lateral stratified charge control to minimize atomized fuel charge loss to surface wetting before ignition.
摘要:
A rotary engine in which rollers are inserted between the side wall of a seal groove and an apex seal such that the side wall of the seal groove and the apex seal are brought into rolling contact, the rollers are enhoused within a recessed groove formed in the side wall of the seal groove or in the side surface of the apex seal, and both ends of the recessed groove are enhoused in the corner seals assembled at both ends of the rotor so that the recessed groove is sealed.

A prime mover for transforming energy from the pressure form to the mechanical form. The prime mover comprises a pair of toothed rotors which engage one another so as to be self-timing. Each rotor has a first portion of relatively large diameter and a second portion of relatively small diameter, each of the portions extending approximately 180.degree.. The rotors are enclosed in respective intersecting cylindrical chambers in a housing, with the tips of the teeth of the small diameter portion of each rotor being displaced radially inwardly from the peripheral surface of the corresponding chamber, and with the tips of the teeth of the large diameter portion of each rotor being directly adjacent to the inner surface of the corresponding chamber. First and second sealing members are mounted in the housing, and these engage the tips of successively passing teeth of the large diameter portion of each rotor, as the rotors turn. A drive fluid is introduced into an inlet in the housing located at the common tangent of the two rotors, and the drive fluid exits through a diametrically opposed aligned outlet.

A seal system in a rotary engine includes apex seals held against an inner peripheral wall surface of a rotor housing, seal rings disposed between the apex seals and a side wall surface of the rotor housing, seal rings disposed between sliding plates mounted on a rotor and the side housing member, a split seal ring disposed between the side housing member and the rotor, and an air seal unit for supplying a flow of compressed air across a clearance between the rotor and the rotor housing to prevent gas leakage between compression and combustion stroke chambers.

In the preferred embodiment, the invention comprises a sealing arrangement in which an elongated slat-type seal is provided for slidable engagement within the slot of a rotor (such as a Wankel engine-type rotor, or the rotor in a vane-type compressor) and includes a leaf spring for biasing the seal outwardly from the slot to effect fluid sealing externally of the rotor. The leaf spring and seal have special, mutually-engaging keying configurations, and the spring has particularly determined contact points which maintain all possible biasing force therein for the longest service time thereof.
摘要:
A seal mechanism for the periphery of the rotor of a rotary piston engine including a sealing ledge supported on the rotor to be pivotable about an axis extending in the longitudinal directional thereof and operative to make sealing contact with an opposed surface of said rotary piston engine over a limited region of the periphery of the sealing ledge facing toward said opposed surface. Through at least one secondary member extending parallel to the sealing ledge at a point of its periphery between the sealing ledge and the rotor, a surface region is defined on the sealing ledge at which forces are developed by the fluid working medium of the engine to effect a desired sealing engagement between the sealing ledge and the opposed surface of the engine.
摘要:
The invention relates to a rotary steam engine comprising a peripheral, circular casing with side walls defining an interior cylindrical section wherein a rotor is adapted to rotate therein. The rotor comprises a series of spaced transverse lobes with spring-biased transverse seals at the outer circular periphery thereof, which are adapted to engage the inner circular periphery of the casing. The casing comprises a series of spaced spring-biased transverse vanes adapted to engage the outer periphery, seals and lobes of the rotor. A series of chambers are defined by the seals and lobes, outer periphery of the rotor, the inner periphery of the casing and the side walls. A series of steam inlets and exhaust steam outlets pairs communicate with said chambers as the rotor is rotated by expansion of live steam against the vanes in said chambers.
